The best Saville Row tailors?

I live in Durham in England so can quite easily travel to London, therefore I would like to start a wardrobe of Saville Row suits, mid priced ones ( by Saville row standards) for work wear, and modestly high end for 1 or 2 evening wear very special suits.

Within these price ranges, which in your experience are the best tailors on Saville Row?

I don't have any SV row experience but I think "best" really depends on what you want as a client. On construction, I've seen excellent works from all of them but for me I'd go with Boateng because he also design and therefore offers more freedom in range as to the style that best fit your needs.

Vox's advice is sound. You need to walk up and down the Row to get a sense of the differences between the various house's styles and, just as importantly, their temperaments. Ideally, you are looking for a tailor whose default look is one that you like and who you think you can get along best with.

Forums like this are a good place to do some basic research, but keep in mind that Savile Row is much bigger than what is represented in online chatter. There are several very good firms that have little web presence or few customers that talk about them online. That might lead you to overlook them, which would be a mistake.

The Doyen of Saville Row tailoring is Andrew Ramroop at Maurice Sedwell so to him for your special suits. In that area though off the row in Stephen Hitchcock for the others. Steven is Anderson and Shepherd trained and his father is also a cutter of renown.

Beaman (who has been suggested merits the use of a barge pole to judge by reported experience on web boards.
